Trudeau calls Poilievre’s stance on Chinese EV tariffs ‘baloney’
Prime Minster Justin Trudeau took aim at federal Conservatives on Monday, accusing leader Pierre Poilievre of not supporting investments in the electric vehicle sector.
Trudeau was attending a funding announcement at Goodyear’s tire plant in Napanee, Ont. Goodyear Canada announced it is investing $575 million to expand and modernize the plant with the goal of making it net-zero in less than two decades. The federal government is contributing $44.3 million, while Ontario’s government is kicking in another $20 million.
Trudeau said the plant’s increased capacity will include tires made specifically for electric vehicles.
